Exploding Customer - At Your Service

Henrik Kaldahl, Jazznet

This release from
the magnificent and forward sighted company Ayler Records this time
is a new studio recording from one of my many favourite bands - Exploding
customer.
This 4-man band has released two earlier albums on Ayler Records (aylCD-030
and aylCD-031), both live recording who made this reviewer clap in
his hands of pure amazement over this tight playing band, so it was
with much excitement and very big expectations that this cd was placed
in the cd player and I sat myself in the sofa.
This CD is recorded over two days in December 2005 and October 2006
and already from the first tone from Martin Küchens saxophone
that blew out of my speakers I was convinced - Exploding customers
are at least as amazing and incredible in the studio as they are live.
The numbers are well thought, new thinking and played with a skillness
and energy, which is hard to describe with other words than amazing
and sublime.
Küchen is on this record backed up by Tomas Hallosten on trumpet,
Benjamin Quigley on bass and Kjell Nordeson on drums. In this band
nobody is more than the next one, all are equal and there is room
for the single musician to let his ideas come to life and all play
the best they have ever learned.
Out of the CD's 7 numbers Küchen has composed 5, Hallosten is
the man behind one of them and the last one is a traditional number
arranged by Carla Bley. It is very difficult to sit here and recommend
one number over the other because they all are extremely great and
nothing but incredible.
This release deserves all the good words I can give it and I can not
give it recommendation enough with it on the way. So in other words
if you are into genius and well played free jazz there's nothing you
can do, you got to get your hands on this cd. If you like this reviewer
can't get enough of the amazing playing of Martin Küchen and
his saxophones you should give his own trio a listen (aylCD-054),
this release is in the same ass kicking super class as the cd's mentioned
above.
